DR Congo Wants Probe Into North Kivu War Crimes AllegationsThe International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague said that it will examine war crimes allegations in the Democratic Republic (DRC) of the Congo after the government made a formal request to the tribunal. The referral is the second time the DRC government has appealed to the ICC, after an initial referral in 2004 convicted former militia leaders Bosco "Terminator" Ntaganda, who was jailed for 30 years for mass murder, rape and abduction. Thomas Lubanga Dyilo was also convicted and sentenced to 14 years imprisonment and Germain Katanga was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment, with time spent in ICC detention between September 18, 2007 and May 23, 2014, deducted from his sentence. Prosecutor Karim Khan said Kinshasa asked prosecutors to "investigate particular armed forces and groups" allegedly responsible for war crimes in North Kivu province from January 1, 2022, to date. Khan said he will assess whether the two referrals are similar enough in scope to form a single investigation. Kinshasa accuses Rwanda of backing rebel group M23 - a view supported by independent United Nations experts and several western nations, including the United States.
